Set against the backdrop of 14th century Paris, the book explores themes of love, exile, and the quest for identity through the intertwining lives of its characters. The narrative provides a rich depiction of medieval society, drawing readers into the cultural and political dynamics of the period. The story centers around Godefroid, a young man who, feeling out of place in the world, attempts to take his own life, believing he is an angel exiled from heaven. His journey intersects with that of the Exile, a mysterious elder who has much to share about the nature of suffering, love, and the divine, all while navigating the dangers of being a scholar in a tumultuous time. The enigmatic Comtesse de Mahaut also plays a crucial role as a protector and mother figure, revealing Godefroid's true heritage. As the characters confront their desires and struggles against the backdrop of the historical and spiritual dialogues of the era, "The Exiles" weaves a profound exploration of what it means to be human and the transcendent search for belonging.
